Eguma prepares for life without Eduok

Dolphins
head coach, Stanley Eguma is already prepared for life without Emem Eduok in
the coming football season.

As
the club prepares for Saturday’s 2nd leg 1st round CAF
Confederation Cup clash against Leones Vegetarianos FC in Port Harcourt, Eguma
extols the virtues of Emem saying his departure is a big loss for the club.

“In
football, players come and go and clubs eventually replace those who depart,”
Eguma said.

“The
thing is that Emem does not fall in the category of players that you can easily
replace.

“We
tried to get Peter Ebimobowei soon after his departure was confirmed but unfortunately
for us and fortunately for Peter he secured another deal outside the country
which was beneficial to him,” Eguma said.

Dolphins
eventually settled for Christian Pyagbara who crossed from city neighbours,
Sharks to team up with the duo of Ifeanyi Egwim and Omo Johnson who were with
the team last season.

“Pyagbara
is one player that can comfortably fit into the shoes Emem left behind and I’m
happy about it.

“He
has a knack for scoring goals and he did so last season so we hope will
continue that way this season especially in the CAF Confederation Cup.

“Ifeanyi
Egwim has been with us for some time and though he didn’t do too well last season
we hope he will pick up this season,” Eguma said.

“Omo
Johnson is another striker we have and I must say we are gradually getting to
replace Emem and by the time these players click we may forget the name of
Eduok,” Eguma said.
